I’ve never submitted in Ottawa so I have no experience there. The longest I’ve waited in Vancouver was about 5 days and that was in the Thai Pass days. I’m not surprised. Literally nothing in Ottawa is faster or more efficient
My understanding has always been that it’s good for C days after it’s stamped. So 60 for example and is effectively used once the stamped days are used.
You’re saying that they can effectively stamp it for more days upon re-entry till 6 months from when it was issued?
thanks. So I’m looking at about 6 months total but would be 60+30 then leave for a week to a neighboring country. How long do they give on re-entry (if approved)?
